So the total ship cost is >$5.60. How do I get WebCatalog to calculate this for me?>In addition, if they want their Deelywoppers shipped by air then it is $7 >for the first and $.80 for each additional. How do I do that?Here's how you can do both of them:[showif [shipType]=ground]shipcost=5.70+(.30*numberOrdered)[/showif] [showif [shipType]=air]shipcost=6.20+(.80*numberOrdered)[/showif]The basic concept is that there's an overhead cost associated with shipping a package, then there's the added cost per item in that package. If you can ship one item for $6.00 and two for $6.30 and three for $6.60, then your overhead is $5.70 and the cost for each item shipped inside that package is $0.30.The first formula takes your overhead of $5.70 and adds $0.30 for each item shipped by ground. The second formula does the same thing, but uses different overhead and per unit values for air shipment.If the shopper chooses to ship by ground, only the first formula is used. If the shopper prefers air shipment, only the second formula is used.
